What did you eat today?
Leftover shanghai noodles from Tofu on 7th, Ben and Jerry’s mint chocolate cookies (I think that’s what its called…), and Perrier with lemon sorbet, yum.
What do you never eat?
I’m pretty good about eating everything except for my childhood anti-nostalgic foods. These include bittermelon, Japanese pumpkin, the orange squishy kind, and weird Chinese stuff like pigs blood.
Complete this sentence: In my refrigerator, you can always find:
Trader Joe’s hot and spicy mustard, sparkling water, goat cheese, garlic, organic eggs, ketchup, and mango lemonade.
What is your favorite kitchen item?
It would be two things: A Japanese ceramic knife. Cuts through everything! 2) Bialetti Italian espresso maker. I’m so sad that my old one is out of commission.
Where do you eat out most frequently?
I love trying new restaurants, and since I’m a newbie to NYC, it’s been a hayday of new places to eat! But in general, I usually stay around Park Slope - restaurants down 7th and 5th ave. My favorites on 5th would be Song, Café Moutarde, & Blue Ribbon Sushi. When I’m too busy (aka lazy), it’ll be 2nd Street Café or order in!
World ends tomorrow. What would you like for your last meal?
Fresh sushi from a fish market in Japan, as in wake up at 5 am, trek out to the fish market for the freshest fish ever! For dessert, any of their pretty little cakes so I’ll already be in heaven.
I love Rickshaw... I can't disagree with this more. You probably just went on a bad day. I've been there a bunch of times and have never walked out unsatisfied, nor have I ever seen anyone walk out of there unsatisfied. I get the shrimp dumplings and the shiitake soup. But I get the dumplings on the side and put them into the soup as I go and eat some sans-soup
